APS Fellows (l to r) Janice Button-Shafer (Berkeley), George Trilling (Berkeley), and Elliott Bloom (SLAC) enjoy the Bay Area Fellows reception that APS hosted at the Berkeley Faculty Club on October 16. Frances Hellman, Chair of the UC Berkeley Physics Department, served as the local host. APS President-elect Arthur Bienenstock of Stanford chaired the program, which featured remarks by APS Executive Officer Judy Franz, Director of Education and Diversity Ted Hodapp, and Director of Public Affairs Michael Lubell. In addition, as the picture indicates, there was plenty of time for the Fellows to enjoy the refreshments and each other’s company.
